I'm not that old, but I thought it was going to come off as one of those "back in my day" posts lol.
-
I'm gonna sound old, but the timing of the color peak is more like I remember it being as a kid. We've been having some delayed seasons to varying extent.
-
The call of a lifetime if it pans out.
-
I'd take it
-
Through 10/20, ORD was running around a solid -4 degrees for the month. 5 days of warmth have taken that down to a pedestrian -0.5 for the month.
-
Yeah, I was gonna say that I thought Chicago westward was supposed to get more than this
-
Getting some good rain now.
-
Chicago just concluded a 4 day streak of highs 75+. Only 4 years have had a 4 day streak of 75+ that began on 10/21 or later -- 1950, 1963, 1989, 2022.
-
The march toward winter continues. But it looks like a good warmup on the way early in the month.
-
Took long enough. The month is almost over. Your post sounds a little like a JBism anyway. Or maybe his thing is that the weather in November is what winter will remember.
-
Chicago will tie today's record high min of 63.

2022 Short/Medium Range Severe Weather Discussion
Hoosier replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
I may be thinking too highly of it because of what happened in Wisconsin a while back, but tomorrow sort of looks like a little potential sleeper setup around downstate Illinois. -
ORD 79'd again. Some flash research to share... this is the first time in 102 years that Chicago has been 79'd on back to back days in October. It's only happened in 1886 and 1920. Both of those were before the middle of the month, so it's never happened this late before.
-
ORD is actually running a degree ahead of yesterday at this time. Clouds don't really look like an issue during the remainder of daytime heating, though they'll probably still find a way to fall short of 80. Chicago's record high min for the 24th looks to be in some danger.
-
Just beat me
-
Looks like somebody will get a good amount of rain coming up.
-
There were some warm days in November 2020... not 80 degrees though.
-
With MDW getting 82, you'd think O'Hare could've managed to touch 80 for a few minutes. Stupid place. 99'd in summer and now this.
-
I think you're a microcosm of the board. Most people aren't aware of/don't care about anything less than a top tier hurricane hitting Mexico, especially from the Pacific.
-
Not sure where it's coming from but there's a smell of burning leaves outside. Always a little weird when it's paired with this kind of warmth. Sort of like when it's in the 80s in spring with hardly any leaves on trees. Just feels out of place.
-
Up to 79 at ORD. Looks like a photo finish is setting up. For dramatic effect... if it hits 80, it would be the first time this century that it occurs on 10/22 or later (last occurrence on this day or later was 10/28/1999)
-
Will have to see how much of a hit that the cooler than average departures take over the next few days, but there's a shot that this ends up being the coolest October for the sub since 2009.
-
LOT now has 80 forecast.
-
LOT went back and found that a 167 year old tornado that was believed to have occurred in what is now the far nw side of Chicago didn't actually occur there, but rather in what is now Des Plaines. Some nice detective work. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5b048ba7ede74e61bf265e91001f4e1a

Will be interesting to see if ORD can reach 80 tomorrow. It should be close either way. Only 15 out of 150 years on record have had an 80+ degree reading occur after Oct 20, with the last one in 2007.
